What people don't realize is when you combine both of the HD consoles you get a number that is greater than the Wii.
I agree, IMO it's best for Nintendo to concentrate mainly on cute games. They have a great reputation for that. Sony's reputation is more multi-media and high spec home cinema orientated.
Sony still has the PS2, which is still a nice cheap alternative to the Wii. (Of course it doesn't compete much anymore, due to market saturation and availability of the high definition targeted PS3)
Sony realized that price matters to most consumers far more than releasing the most cutting edge technology.
I am sure Sony wanted the PS3 to be cutting edge, but I think the managers didn't realize what it would amount to allowing Ken so much freedom, building his ultimate multi-media console.
Nevertheless I am happy about this, games like Uncharted, Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, etc are IMO simply awesome! The increased competition will keep Sony on their toes to demonstrate the PS3's added value.
